LEO, a 1940 stallion sired by JOE REED II out of LITTLE FANNY, was bred by John W. House of Cameron, TX. While LEO displayed considerable speed, reportedly winning 20 of his 22 starts, it was his reputation as a sire that made him famous.
In 1947, Bud Warren of Perry, OK, purchased LEO after achieving success with two of his daughters, FLIT and LEOTA W. Champions PALLEO PETE, MISS MEYERS, MONA LETA and BOBBIE LEO proved LEO's ability to sire speed. An all-time leading sire of broodmares, LEO's daughters produced 14 Champions including LITTLE BLUE SHEEP, KID MEYERS and All American Futurity winner GOETTA. His most famous daughter, GARRETT'S MISS PAWUSKA, produced Champions VANETTA DEE, VANNEVAR and VANDY'S FLASH.
In addition to speed, LEO's foals displayed excellent conformation, athletic ability, quiet dispositions and cow sense. Famous LEO-bred cutting horses include PEPPY SAN, MR SAN PEPPY and KING'S PISTOL. LEO stayed in Perry until his death in 1967. Both Warren and LEO were inducted into the American Quarter Horse Hall of Fame in 1989.
